TwoFold is a body of work built around pairs with each piece created with a companion in mind. These works are meant to be seen together, to speak to one another, and to invite you into that quiet conversation. Sometimes they reflect, sometimes they contrast, but always they are connected.I’m interested in the in-between spaces where memory meets perception, where something hidden might come into view. The process of cutting, layering, and revealing is my way of exploring that space, of asking what happens when two parts of something are placed side by side. As you move through the work, I hope you’ll notice not just the pieces themselves, but the relationships between them. The tension, the harmony, the pause between one thought and the next. In this body of work, I hope you find space to see something familiar in a new way, or something entirely unexpected waiting to be noticed.
Ceramic art often begs the question, is it functional or sculptural? The pieces I made for this exhibit attempt to push the boundaries of how we use ceramic objects by altering and combining more familiar forms, sometimes giving options in how the pieces may interact with one another. I envision these pieces becoming a foundation for whimsical centerpieces laden with botanical elements.
